The CSSR in Brief

The Centre for Social Science Research (CSSR) is an interdisciplinary research centre at the University of Cape Town dedicated to conducting and building capacity for systematic, policy-relevant social science research in South Africa, the region and across Africa. Methodologically, CSSR research is empirical, problem-driven and we utilise both quantitative and qualitative strategies of data collection.

The TCB has a long and controversial history in Parliament, with previous versions widely criticised in public hearings and by civil society. This new TCB is an improved draft by the Department of Justice and Correctional Services, which incorporates some of the important concerns raised.
